EMMAUS was born from an impromptu road trip. In December of 2012, an aimless adventure became a reconciliation with many people, including myself. Two weeks later, I arrived in Napa, walked onto this property, and had the insurmountable feeling of having arrived home. Call it serendipity.
EMMAUS is a culmination of taking chances. With the purchase of the new property came the dawning realization of a very involved undertaking. With the help of some of the wine industry’s most talented people to coax the vineyard into its full capability, the inaugural harvest was met with equal parts gratitude and fulfillment. Since that aimless December journey, all that has followed has been a truly remarkable renaissance.
